Somewhere, executives at Big Autumn clink their pumpkin-spiced martinis, before shouting non sequiturs about Big 12 expansion. Somewhere, Billie Joe Armstrong<\/a> lets out a thundering snore and drools onto his Golden Bears pillow. September college football is upon us with another stacked weekend.<\/p>\n

Saturday has three games between top-18 ranked teams, and SEC conference play ramps up in prime time. This strange, suspenseful sport gets its power from weekly blockbusters, like the Georgia Bulldogs in Knoxville and the Texas A&M Aggies in South Bend. But it also draws folks in with an uninhibited undercard (did anyone catch North Texas-Western Michigan<\/a> last time out?).<\/p>\n

Each week, we will use this space to celebrate the big FBS matchups \u2026 as well as a few pairings that could devolve into disorder. For what it\u2019s worth, two of our four \u201cchaos agent\u201d picks last weekend<\/a> were Baylor-SMU (48-45 in double overtime) and Arizona State-Mississippi State (a field-storming 24-20 upset).<\/p>\n

ThursdayBest on paper: NC State at Wake Forest, 7:30 p.m. on ESPN<\/p>\n

The Wolfpack are 2-0 after topping Virginia 35-31 in Week 2. They pulled off that comeback win at home with three third-quarter rushing touchdowns. Running back Hollywood Smothers had two of them; he also has one of the coolest names in sports. Wake Forest is 2-0, too. Langston Hardy (son of Illinois All-American linebacker Kevin) had 2.5 sacks in last week\u2019s blowout of Western Carolina.<\/p>\n

Best potential chaos agent: \u2026 also NC State at Wake Forest<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Thursday\u2019s only FBS game! The in-state rivalry dates back to 1895. SP+ rankings<\/a>, Bill Connelly\u2019s comparative metric that adjusts for tempo and opponent, has this game with a 0.7 projected point margin. Let it rip.<\/p>\n

FridayBest on paper: Kansas State at Arizona, 9 p.m. on Fox<\/p>\n

Narrow spread (1.5 points going to the hosts on BetMGM). High total (54.5 points, highest of the Friday lineup). Can\u2019t lose<\/a>. K-State is 1-2, but all three games have been sufficiently entertaining and decided by just a field goal. QB Avery Johnson is all over the place, but his best stuff earns the payoff. His counterpart, Arizona\u2019s Noah Fifita, was a breakout in 2023 and has a cannon belying his 5-foot-10 frame.<\/p>\n

Best potential chaos agent: Colorado at Houston, 7:30 p.m. on ESPN<\/p>\n

The Fightin\u2019 Primes have already called in their third-string quarterback. Ryan Staub<\/a> may have forced the issue after shining in relief<\/a> of Kaidon Salter last Saturday. As we\u2019ve said in previous weeks, Colorado has a permanent reservation for a \u201cchaos agent\u201d spot. Houston is undefeated after beating up on Stephen F. Austin and Rice. Conner Weigman, the local transfer from Texas A&M, has a high ceiling under center.<\/p>\n

Saturday, early windowBest on paper: No. 12 Clemson at Georgia Tech, noon on ESPN<\/p>\n

The John Heisman<\/a> heyday, where $2 bills<\/a> abound. The Tigers have won this matchup nine consecutive times under Dabo Swinney, and Clemson is a narrow road favorite against 2-0 Tech. You better believe Atlanta\u2019s North (Nawf<\/a>) Avenue will be rocking for a rivalry game.<\/p>\n

Best potential chaos agent: Wisconsin at No. 19 Alabama, noon on ABC<\/p>\n

Just imagine the fervor if Alabama loses again. The L from FSU was seismic, forcing Kalen DeBoer to address his job security<\/a> in August. Tide wideout Ryan Williams, who was on the heels<\/a> of Jeremiah Smith not too long ago, is primed for a star turn on the national stage. Wisconsin will certainly try to junk the rhythm and slop up proceedings through defense-oriented coach Luke Fickell.<\/p>\n

Saturday sleeper: Memphis at Troy, noon on ESPNU<\/p>\n

The second-closest spread in this noon window at -4.5, behind the Tigers and Yellow Jackets at -3.5. Troy gave Clemson a run for its money, jumping out to a 16-0 lead before slipping in the second half. Memphis pounds the rock, and SP+ likes an offense-heavy outcome.<\/p>\n

Saturday, afternoon windowBest on paper: No. 6 Georgia at No. 15 Tennessee, 3:30 p.m. on ABC<\/p>\n

A marquee banger that earns the network\u2019s lead broadcast team of Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Holly Rowe. This is the fourth consecutive time that Georgia and Tennessee are both ranked for their annual animosities. The Bulldogs have won eight in a row over the Volunteers, which means Knoxville will be knocking in pursuit of catharsis. Each defense is stocked with pro-level talents. Vols QB Joey Aguilar has a quick release and a palpable energy. The Bulldogs\u2019 Gunner Stockton (from a town called Tiger, Georgia, population 422) hangs tough in the pocket.<\/p>\n

Best potential chaos agent: No. 18 South Florida at No. 5 Miami, 4:30 p.m. on The CW<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes have Carson Beck, a captain of chaos and a most compelling watch. South Florida is ranked for the first time in seven seasons, and it is the early front-runner for 2025\u2019s Team of Destiny. Alex Golesh coached his upstart Bulls to a 34-7 silencing of then-No. 25 Boise State, then stunned Florida<\/a> in The Swamp last Saturday: an 18-16 win on a walk-off kick from Nico Gramatica<\/a>, son of Martin.<\/p>\n

Saturday sleeper: Pittsburgh at West Virginia, 3:30 on ESPN<\/p>\n

\u201cSleeper\u201d is used lightly here, though West Virginia limps into the rivalry after an anemic 17-10 loss to Ohio. \u201cThe Backyard Brawl<\/a>\u201d still means everything to those on either side of Interstate 79. This year\u2019s version of the Appalachian all-timer features the return of Rich Rodriguez on WVU\u2019s sideline, while Pat Narduzzi\u2019s Panthers are paced by NFL hopeful LB Kyle Louis and air-it-out QB Eli Holstein. Mark Jones and Roddy Jones will be in the booth.<\/p>\n

Saturday, evening windowBest on paper: No. 16 Texas A&M at No. 8 Notre Dame, 7:30 p.m. on NBC<\/p>\n

The Irish really need a boost after their three-point Week 1 loss to Miami and their awkward early bye last Saturday. The Aggies look alive on offense, thanks to Marcel Reed\u2019s arm and legs (seven passing TDs and a rushing score so far). Much will change between now and November, but A&M is currently the only ranked opponent left on Notre Dame\u2019s independent schedule. There are some nascent College Football Playoff implications here.<\/p>\n

Best potential chaos agent: Florida at No. 3 LSU, 7:30 p.m. on ABC<\/p>\n

We wonder how Florida might follow up its deflating home loss to an in-state \u201clittle brother.\u201d How about an upset of its enemy in Death Valley? The Gators pulled it off at home last fall, and quarterback DJ Lagway is back with another year of experience and confidence. In each of the four previous losing efforts before that, Florida put up least 34 points against LSU. Sean McDonough, Greg McElroy and Molly McGrath are set to call this over-the-air SEC showcase.<\/p>\n

Saturday sleeper, Night Moves edition*: Texas State at Arizona State, 10:30 p.m. on TNT<\/p>\n

*Presented by Bob Seger<\/a> and Skatteboost<\/a>, the unofficial caffeinated drink of late-night football that we just made up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vanderbilt-South Carolina should also be a strong SEC offering. But this one is for those partial to staying up late, or those who miss this TNT college football bumper<\/a>. The 2-0 Bobcats have scored 95 points in their opening two games. The Sun Devils were 2024\u2019s lead chaos creators, blazing a surprise path into the Playoff. They just lost to Mississippi State<\/a> on a 58-yard touchdown pass with 30 seconds left. Midnight in the desert sounds like a good time for those who can hang.<\/p>\n
